The glass bifold doors and huge windows throughout the open plan property blur the separation between indoor luxuries and the natural beauty outdoors.

All seven airy bedrooms – with super-king size and single beds on offer to accommodate your group – are perfect for chilly evenings snuggled up in the comfortable bed linen, or for idle lie ins catching up on your reading list as the natural light pours in. Every bedroom boasts an ensuite – with one accessible wet room as well as walk-in showers – enabling constant luxury and comfort. The bioethanol fireplace as well as the abundance of comfortable sofas in the living areas also ensure cosy relaxation at every turn.

Plan your day with a morning coffee at the breakfast bar on the kitchen island while you soak up the natural sunlight flooding in through the bifold. Perhaps you will pass your holiday catching a tan as you unwind on a sun lounger whilst the kids splash around in the large, shared pool in the walled garden. Or warm up with a glass of fizz in the hot tub in the oak-framed building.

Rustle up a delicious dinner in the fully equipped modern kitchen with its impressive range cooker and extensive fridge storage. The spacious dining table will seat all your guests adjacent to the magnificent four-metre glass bifold which opens onto a colourful flower bed. Alternatively, cook up a storm in the outdoor kitchen and tuck into your alfresco feast on the outdoor patio seating under parasols.
